Bill  Olson's

Hi. Welcome. This is a picture of me doing what I do, calling dances and playing guitar. I also play upright bass.  I have a couple things to offer that I believe are unique. The first is calling and playing for contra dances and contra dance events and weekends. Click here if you want to know more about that.  I also teach and call for community dances, family dances, school residencies and celebratory events of all kinds. click here for more info about that. In each case, I am available solo or with a band.  For more info about my bands,  look over to the right hand side of this page..

My Schedule

Looking for a great dance weekend next spring? I will be in Aptos, California with Ti' Acadie and Alan Bradbury on March 17-19, 2006. It's the Monte Toyon Spring Dance weekend sponsored by BACDS. More info here soon.
